New York state countered by arguing that the Second Amendment is only a guarantee to the states of "the collective right to fortify their respective 'well regulated' militias."

This is so outrageous. It is impossible to reconcile the fact that the courts read:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,...."

and find a right guaranteed to individuals and then read:

"the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

and find a right guaranteed only to the states.

Only a gun hating liberal could read the same word in the same context and come up with different meaning. I hope this goes to appeal.
